Eds. 2007 . Clinician s Guide to Pediatric Sleep Disorders , p. 75. New York Informa Healthcare USA, Inc. ref RERAs are arousals from sleep that do not technically meet the definitions of apnea s or hypopnea s, but do disrupt sleep. They are abrupt transitions from a deeper stage of sleep to a shallower. A RERA is characterized by increasing respiratory effort for 10 seconds or more leading to an arousal from sleep, but one that does not fulfill the criteria for a hypopnea or apnea. The gold standard for measuring RERAs is esophageal manometry , as recommended by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine AASM . However, esophageal manometry is uncomfortable for patients and impractical to use in most sleep center s. Some research studies have found that a high RDI was significantly correlation correlated with excessive daytime sleepiness , and that this correlation was stronger than that for the frequency of oxygen saturation decreases below 85 , but other studies have found only a weak correlation. ref http books.google.com books?id T9fwv3B33voC&pg PA83 Verster, Joris C., et al.

It is distinguished from pyromania by the gratification being of a Human sexuality sexual nature. Description While the erotic focus immediately raises the diagnostic issue of pyromania, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV classifies this disorder as an impulse control disorder , with nothing to indicate or suggest an overlap between this disorder and the paraphilias. Other than the purposeful act of fire setting itself, there is no mention of the possibility that the tension or affective arousal experienced before the act the fascination with, interest in, or attraction to fire and its situational contexts for example, paraphernalia , uses, consequences or the pleasure, gratification, or relief when setting, witnessing, or participating in the aftermath of fires might be sexual in nature or even contain a sexual arousal component. Some described cases of pyrophilia do not include behaviors commonly associated with pyromania, such as being a regular watcher at fires in his neighbourhood setting off false alarm s deriving pleasure from institutions, equipment, and personnel associated with fire, spending time at the local fire station , setting fires in order to be affiliated with the fire department and either showing indifference to the consequences to life and property caused by the fire or deriving satisfaction from the resulting destruction of property. Orgasm Sexual gratification need not involve actual fire arousal or masturbatory aids may include fantasies or talk of setting a fire. In other instances, the patient may derive arousal primarily from setting or watching their fire. Pyrophilia has been diagnosed in very few instances, and is not fully accepted by the general psychological community. citation needed ... more details
